Ebook: Introducing Learn Linux In One Week and Go from Zero to Hero

After the success of our RHCSA / RHCE and LFCS / LFCE certification books, we are now happy to present “Learn Linux In One Week”.

This ebook will walk you through the beginnings of Linux and the contributions of Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman to performing secure file transfers over a network. You’ll learn how to manage users and groups, and to write shell scripts to help automate system administration tasks.

Have little or no experience with Linux? That is not a problem at all. We will provide you with 2 ready-to-go Linux virtual machines that you can use to get started.

On top of it, every chapter comes with exercises to apply what you have learned in that chapter, and we also provide the solutions to those exercises.

And believe us, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
